Import Tips
• Provide species identification documentation; maple is nonconiferous but often inspected for emerald ash borer risks
• Ensure bundles are securely packaged to prevent loose bark during shipping, avoiding debris-related customs holds
• Label as 'fuel only - not for kindling' if pieces exceed 1 inch to comply with some state burning regulations
